Monson Sedition Acoustic Guitar
1-11-16 - So, I've decided to do something completely different here.  Introducing "Sedition".....the first all acoustic for Monson Guitars.  Walnut top, poplar body, and a couple layers of redwood and knotty pine to increase the acoustics.  I made this guitar completely for myself.  I wanted something I could pick up and mess around with, without needing to plug in.....and I simply loathe those giant acoustic guitars.  Of course, it's available as an acoustic, but also an acoustic / electric, electric, baritone, and a bass!
Oh yeah, I've been building guitars for 15 years now.  Here's to "overt conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority".
Many thanks to the fantastic people I've had the chance to meet and work with over the years!
